When he came to, he realized he could no longer walk. He could do nothing without the help of others and required constant care in a hospital. So began a yearlong odyssey through the medical systems of Rome and Italy, with the hope of somehow being able to return home to his house in London.\u003cbr\u003eWhile confined to a series of hospital wards, he felt compelled to write, but being unable to type or hold a pen, he began to dictate to family members the words that formed in his head--thoughts on his medical condition, but also parenthood, immigration, sex, psychoanalysis, and, of course, writing. The result was an extraordinary series of dispatches from his hospital bed: a diary of a life in pieces, recorded with rare honesty, humor, and verve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShattered\u003c\/i\u003e takes these dispatches--edited, expanded, and meticulously interwoven with new writing--and charts both a shattering and a reassembling: a new life born of pain and loss but also animated by new feelings of gratitude, humility, and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Shattered | Hanif Kureishi | Paperback | 9780063360518 | New | Memoir 1734654","offer_id":48168140603544,"sku":"1734654","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/712IF138iwL.jpg?v=1771964045","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/shattered","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
